Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel has still yet to receive a list of hostages slated to be freed today by Hamas, which will delay the start of the ceasefire.
The Prime Minister’s Office says Netanyahu held a security assessment overnight “regarding the delay in receiving the list of hostages expected to be released.”
Netanyahu “instructed the IDF that the ceasefire, which is scheduled to take effect at 8:30 a.m., will not begin until Israel has the list of hostages to be released, which Hamas has pledged to provide,” his office adds.
Three female hostages are slated to be released from Gaza today, the first day of the ceasefire, although Hamas was supposed to have provided their names already by yesterday afternoon, according to Israeli officials.
